Report #76271

[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages that only state what changed

Use imperative mood in the subject line \(<=50 chars\), separate with a blank line, and explain the motivation or context in the body.

Journey Context:
The git diff already shows exactly what changed. The commit message is for the human reading the history to understand why the change was made. Imperative mood \('Fix bug' not 'Fixed bug'\) matches Git's built-in conventions \(e.g., 'Merge branch'\).
